During the administration of Mr. Jeffer- son, the United States opened negotiations for the purchase of Louisiana from France. It was about the period of the termination of the brief and hollow peace brought about by the treaty of Amiens. Great Britain meditated a military expedition, for the purpose of subjugating that province to her own dominion ; and the question naturally present- ed itself, how will England regard this acquisition of territory, which she entertained every hope of subjugat...ing to her own dominion from a for- eign enemy ? Anticipating an objection from this quarter, Mr. Madison, on the 75lh of May, 1S03, addressed to Mr. Livingston, our Minister in France, a despatch, in which he says : " As the question may arise, how far, in a state of war, one of the parties can, of right, convey territory to a neutral power, and thereby deprive its enemy of the chance of conquest incident to war, especially when that conquest may have been actually projected, it is though proper to observe to you — 1st, that, in the present case the project of peaceable acquisition by the United States originated prior to the war, and, consequently, before a project of conquest could 3 34 have existed ; 2d, that the right of a neutral to procure for itself, by a bond fide transaction, property of any sort from a belligerant power, ouo-ht not to be frustrated by the chance that a rightful conquest thereof mioht thereby be precluded.
